Importer of French Cambric, Cambric Handkerchiefs, and French Lace. He was acquitted on the capital indictment, not on the ground of the prosecutor 'having acted illegally, but for want of proof of the pistol hav ing been loaded with shot, or any hard substance, and consequently being loaded with gunpowder only, the case did not embrace the me,:ningof Lord , Ellenburough's Act, or the Black Act, and this, added to the warrant not being produced, On the trial, induced the Judge very properly to di rect an acquittal. But not a word was then proved as to the prosecutor acting illegally. As the case, s now reported, it seems that the de fendant was acquitted at Cambridge on the in dictment for the common assault, because it ap peared to the Court at Ely, that the prosecutor's act was unlawful, which is altogether a misrepre sentation. As the Editor has chosen to state, that the prosecutor's act was illegal,: it would on ly have been proper to have communicated to the Public on what ground he acted illegally. The Learned Judge, it is true, appeared at first to scruple the legality of breaking the outer dom of the.Hoase An which • defendant was arrested, but his, doubts were obviated, on reference to the law, ,ansfevery:lawyer must allow him to be a correct expounder .of the laws. The defendant was arrested in a• stranger's house.. Are we not informed by our laws; " That although every man's house is his castle, a person cannot take' the benefit of sanctuary in a stranger's house, particularly after an Officer glies"iltie notice of his business, and dent ands admission, and is refused ?" And does not the law-further teach us, " That after such -refusal, Abe- sheriff or his officers may. break open the house, end execute the, process without any danger of law.?" Admitting that defendant was a lodger in the house (which was certainly not the case), the outer,. door , of his apartment, which would then be considered as his castle, e t as not broken, but the outer door of the stranger's house, and his OWI9 pri vate apartment (if he hadany).was then peaceably entered. De fendant was secreted behind a sliding partition in one of the rooms, and the prosecutor and his as sistants having forced open the slide (as they were justified in doing)', he was ihitnediately arrested . , and discharged the pistol, giving unto the prose cutor a wound in the side, and bustling his clothes entirely through. Upon the pros ecutor discover ing his wo u nd not to be fatal, he immediately read his warrant over to the defendant. The -great and-learned Judge, 'Sir Matthew Hale, tells ns , " That a_ bailiff or officer, jams et conus, may arrest a man without shewin u his war rant, and a private bailiff need not sheen his war rant on the arrest, till the Party arrested demand it ; and therefore, if the party'arrested kill a man upon the arrest,-Withoutsuch a warrant shewn, it is murder," That the slide of this. partition should be considered as the outer door of his apartment, and that stick partition should (if he was a lodger) be his domicile or ordinary residence, is too futile to need explanation.: Will any lawyer state the aforegoiag acts to be illegal ? If so, to quote the authority of an eminent Judge* stow no more, " The rule that every man's house is his castle, when applied- to the case of arrests upon legal process, bath been carried as far as the true prin ciples of political justice will warrant; perhaps beyond what in the scale of sound reason and good policy they will warrant." Upon cross-examination by-Mr. Storks (whose abilities are well known on such occasions), the prosecutor certainly did not give his evidence .so perspicuously as he might have done, 'ind:the Court having considered &ohs such evidence that defendant. was a lodger,. and having discovered he had beau before tried capitally and, acquitted, the Learned Judge directed the Jury to acquit him on the indictment for the assault, adding that he had been punished for the offence; but:that .the prose cution was a very proper one. I have been longer on this case than I intended to have been ; but the doctrine I have advanced is consistent with trial. and the known rules of law upon which all civic government is founded and must subsist. I con. gratulate the defendant on his acquittal; but it must not be attributed to the illegality of the pro secutor's acts, but to the lenity of the Learned Judge (Sir Robert Dallas) before whom he' was tried, and who (to his honour and integrity) le the defendant have the advantage of such doubts I am, Sir, your's &c.

FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR,--The projected Expedition to• wards the North Pole is now an object, of such interest with the Public in general, that I trust you will find a corner for a short hint connected . . in some measure with its ultimate streesa: espe. cially as . the point in question will thereby be. come more generally •.known to the scientific world than if the communication were excl us i ve ly made to the Board of Longitude. In the very interesting article in a late Quar terly Review, so frequently alluded to by the daily Press, it has been juirly, observed, that on a near approach to the Pole the compass will be• comenselessi—tbat the stars, being invisible, cm afford no astronomical data,—and that time will be the only guide to ascertain the pr ,, je.tiOn of the meridians from the Pole; hie it is at the same . .inte.specified, that the probable haziness of the torizon, and the equability of altitude of the sun, during his daily revolution, will render ail solar observations for apparent time totally impracti cable, so that chronometers set to Greenwich time will be the only guide for our modern aro nauts. But, Sir, even with the most accurate chronometers, a fatal error may take place —one which, Igrant, is not, very likely to happen—but, as the old Logicians,correctly assert, that what ever is in Posse, is.also in ,Ess.e, or that whatever can happen may happen, one which, certainly ought to be.guarded against. To.explain this as briefly, as possible, let us consider that the ships will leave the river with _chronometers set to Greenwich time, and that they will keep so-near to the Greenwich meridian in their progress to wards the Pole, that the time both at Greenwich and on board the ships will always agree within a fewminutes ; for the difference of real, mean, and apparent time, will not materially affect the pro. blem. Of course the hour of twelve on the chro. nometer will eithetpOint to noon or midnight on 'board the the one case the sun will be _seen on the meridian, between the ship and. Green. wich, and in the other case, he will be below the horizon, and on the opposite meridian... But as they approach the arctic circle, the sun will never set,.and the meridian of Greenwich will be point. ed out by his highest altitude. On a closer ap proach to the Pole, however, the sun will make his daily revolution at such, an equal height from the horizon, .;hat he will no longer act. of him self, as a guide to the meridians, and it will only be by a reference to, the chronometers that noon and midnight, or the meridian of Greenwich and its opposite, can be distinguished from each other. But let us suppose that the ships arrive at the Pole, and that by any fatal accident, for such may occur, the relative value of the twelve on the dial-plate, as regards noon ur midnight at Green• wich, shall be lost lam aware that on board a man olwar, with scientific and careful officers, the Logboard and Logbook will be so duly kept as to regulate this important point ; yet, on a voyage to unknown regions, and under circum stances which cannot be foreseen, such an error may arise, the consequence of which might be that the ships would return on the Greenwich me. ridian, instead of pursuing the opposite one, and would be unable to ascertain the mistake until the season should be too far advanced for a second attempt. To guard against the possibility, of such an error, I propose-that one or two good chrono. meters shall be sent out, whose hands shall rn4,k e but one revolution, instead of two, in the tour-and -twenty hours, the dial-plates being also marked from 1 to 24: Such a chronometer, either set to astronomical and nautical time from noon to -noon, or 4o _common time from' midnight to midnight, will always point out the precise noon or midnight at Greenwich, and thereby, provided -there is no haze and - the place of the sun can be ascertained, will always point out the Greenwich meridian and its opposite of ISocleg. Longitude, by 12 and 24 whilst 6- and 18 will point out 90 deg. East or `Vest; the 'intermediate hours ascertain ing -with equal correctness the intermediate me. ridians by the apparent place of the sun, without any necessity of dependance upon the Lol:board. When they have passed the Pole, the direction 11 which they have passed it being ascertained by this new chronometer, it will he no longer speci fically necessary for their guidance, turless indeed that they shall be forced - to return by the route already passed, when the approach to the Pole will render it a second time a most useful adjunct to their astronomical apparatus. A reference to the hour circle fixed in the North Pole of a Terrestrial Globe will illustrate this problem in the - gimplest manner ; and I have only to add, without a pun, that should your Sox tend to correct the errors of its namesake, for errors will arise in spite of your motto, it will be a high gratification to your Old Correspohdeut, IGNOTUS.
